Visiting Cancun? Here’s what you NEED to know!

TRAVELING TO CANCUN IN 2023

The Cancun arrival process has been simplified! You no longer need to fill out an immigration form (paper or digital) prior to, or on, arrival. Once you deplane, you will be directed to (or choose) one of two options for going through immigrations. (Option 2 available in terminals 3 & 4 ONLY)
OPTION 1
The normal immigration lines where you will speak to an agent, and have your passport stamped. Please keep your physical or digital boarding pass until you clear immigrations, in case it is needed.
OPTION 2
The electronic passport control machines (only available for travelers 18 and up). If you go through these machines, please enter and scan your passport. Wait for your photo to be taken and collect your receipt with QR code. Make sure to retain your receipt as you may be asked for this on departure from Mexico. *At this time, you do not need to go online and fill anything out regarding that QR code and receipt. Simply hold onto it until you depart Mexico.

After immigration, you will pick up your bag(s) at the carousel. You may be selected to have your bags inspected.

The VisiTax is a MANDATORY tax that can be paid prior to arrival in Mexico or during the stay. You may or may not get asked to show proof of payment during departure process. It is 259mxn per person (check current exchange rate for exact amount, simply google this), and the correct website to pay is https://www.visitax.gob.mx/sitio/

ANY other website is a scam.
